What does Fevertree Drinks PLC do?
Known best for turning humble gin and tonics into upscale treats, this British brand makes its money by convincing us to pay extra for quality ingredients like botanical tonics and ginger beer. It relies heavily on pubs, bars, and supermarkets keeping shelves stocked with its posh bottles. The big question is whether the business can get its sales growing again after a recent dip in revenues.
On our factor screen it looks strongest on quality and momentum, and weakest on value.
